This book brings together the most extensive selection of photographs and paintings from the Leiter archives. Born in 1923 and died in 2013, Saul Leiter lived for over 60 years on New York's Lower East Side. His photographs, often taken while walking around his neighborhood, never seem dated. From the 1950s to the 2000s, they are imbued with the discreet audacity of showing the front of the window and what it reveals. Leiter cast a painter's eye on the fleeting, intimate moments of everyday life. With a keen awareness of the transient nature of beauty, he created a poetry of the ephemeral that borders on the sublime.
